Destiny 2’s Exotic weapons often have very specific ways to get them. While many can be obtained from the Monument to Lost Lights in the Tower, numerous weapons require completing specific activities or a lengthy Exotic quest. One such weapon, the Buried Bloodline, is exclusive to those who pay up and then grind for it.
If you’ve picked up the Lightfall Dungeon Key, then here’s what you need to know to get the Buried Bloodline sidearm in Destiny 2.
Where to find the Buried Bloodline sidearm in Destiny 2
Buried Bloodline is a weapon exclusive to the Warlord’s Ruin dungeon, which is unlocked upon purchasing the Lightfall Dungeon Key. This costs $20 worth of Silver and includes access to both this dungeon and the Ghosts of the Deep dungeon. Once you have that, you want to speak to Ikora and begin the In the Shadow of the Mountain quest, which itself starts with completing the Warlord’s Ruin dungeon.
Once in the dungeon itself, you want to proceed as normal and defeat the final boss, Hefnd’s Vengeance. Similar to raids, defeating the dungeon’s final boss has a small chance to drop the Buried Bloodline weapon. This means you could get it on your fourth run, or you could get it on your 24th. This leaves you at the mercy of RNG. It doesn’t help that this can only be done once per week per character, giving you only three opportunities a week. Either way, keeping at it should net the Buried Bloodline at some point.
Is the Buried Bloodline worth using?
The Buried Bloodline is a sidearm that comes with the Exotic perk Hungering Quarrel. This perk turns your shots into dual-tracking bolts. Hitting a target with both bolts leeches health, helping your survivability. Additionally, multiple final blows with the weapon grant Devour. The weapon is considered alright for PvP content, but great in PvE due to its high damage and sustain capabilities. If you manage to complete the puzzles within the Warlord’s Ruin dungeon and get its catalyst, having Devour will weaken any targets you come across. If you want some utility out of your Exotic, you’d be hard-pressed to find a good alternative.
